Ok, I am anxious to see what a White Dominique would look like. I was thinking of making a new "breed." I'm planning to use either my White Rock pullet or cockerel over one of my Dominiques. I understand that barring will take a while to clean up, but how do I go about doing that? They'll be...
Ok I've read that pullets grow feathers faster than males. Is that 100% true? I bought these guys at tsc a couple weeks ago and I'd like to know what gender they are.
Ok my 10 week old pullet has started to develop red or rusty spots on the wings. Her father is an Easter Egger and her mother is a Red Sex-Link. Maybe it's the red passed down from her mother starting to kick in?
Ok I know they're adults now, but what I don't get is that I got weird colors when I breed the parents. The dad was a Bb Red and the moms are black oegb and bb red.

What happened? Where did these guys come from?
I want to know before I buy them.
Labeled "Red Pullets"
Labeled "Cornish Rock"
Labeled "White Rock"
The reason I'm posting is because Tractor Supply tends to get their breeds mixed up a lot.
A couple weeks ago, I bought a Cornish Rock along with seven other chicks. I didn't know what a Cornish Rock was so I bought it and started doing research. Well after the research, I learned you had to kill them at 8 weeks. Has anyone had luck with raising these past due date? It gets plenty of...
I hatched this one out from shipped eggs. Any ideas on the sex? It's brother has way bigger wattles and a bigger comb.
Here is it's brother for comparison
My hens have started a habit recently about screaming at each other and at everything anymore. Why are they doing this? It sounds like the alarm call a rooster does when a hawk flies by, but it's a loud scream. Kinda like a wild chicken does that's never been interacted with by people. Like when...
Ok, this girl was give to me. What color is she? And also how old do you think she is? Since she doesn't have the head poof, I'm guessing young because my other 2 silkies have big poofs on their heads. Any ideas?
I bought this Silkie along with a hen this morning (first Monday) and I know the other one is definitely a hen. What is this one? It has me stumped. Also what color is it? I'm thinking Partridge, but I don't know.
Ok my barred rock pullet cross seems to be lacking feathers. Her sisters are already sprouting feathers like crazy. So I was wondering why she is bald? She feather quills on her back. How long will it be before she grows them?
By the way she was born like this.
Ok, I bought two cornish rocks along with two buff brahmas and six speckled sussex.
I wanted to take my chances of raising these two cornish chicks like normal chickens. Is it possible? Will they live happily and normally with the other eight? How long do they live?
